Description

I can reproduce the problem with the following environment:
Windows XP Pro
Python 2.5.2
Oracle 10g XE (Universal)
Django 1.0.2 final

(I tend to think it is a Django/Oracle combination problem, because I can't reproduce the bug with MySQL or Postgres.)

I was walking through the tutorial, during which I installed the 'admin' site. I went to ​http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and logged in with user name and password, and then hit the following error.

UnicodeEncodeError at /admin/

'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 0-42: ordinal not in range(128)
